And that briefing, you know, highlights a lot of concerns that people will have about this. voice-verified

And I I think because of those concerns, it's not going to have an easy ride through Parliament. voice-verified

And, you know, that's where a new Secretary of State could have a big impact. voice-verified

Where Streeting really believed that all this data sharing was essential for everything he was trying to do in the NHS. voice-verified

I mean, when a new Secret this new Secretary of State comes up against opposition to some of these plans, voice-verified

you know, whoever it is, will he or she be so driven to get it through Parliament? voice-verified

You know, there's big questions about that. voice-verified

I think the only other thing worth highlighting is the changes to to ICBs. voice-verified

I mean, we've done an article about lots of the things in the bill. voice-verified

You can have a look at that on the website. voice-verified

But the other thing that is worth mentioning here voice-verified

Is about the changes to ICBs. voice-verified

So the bill is going to remove the requirement for ICBs to have a board member who represents general practice, as well as remove the requirement for ICBs to have a board member that represents local trusts and one that represents local authorities. voice-verified

Instead, they will be required to have a board members who have been nominated by each elected mayor in the area. voice-verified

So that's quite a big change. voice-verified

I mean the RCB. voice-verified

RCGP have already expressed real concern about that plan. voice-verified

The college says that for neighbourhood health to be a success, it's essential that GPs are really central to local leadership and decision making. voice-verified

So it says this is a real backward step. voice-verified

This was actually one of the issues it highlighted in a recent letter to the new health secretary. voice-verified
